I had a plan… Go to college, get good grades, start fresh. I knew I’d have a clean slate, and I could be anyone. I was right on track until I spent the summer with my roommate, Emma.

Aaron Sutter was everything I told myself to stay away from… a player, smooth talker, and sexy as hell. He was not part of the plan. Girls fought for just a minute of his attention, and would pretty much do anything to get it. I swore I would never be one of them, but Aaron and my heart had other plans.

It’s funny how the heart works. It doesn’t see the pain coming its way. It doesn’t understand that one moment could change everything. One crack could destroy the very foundation that it’s balancing on. Aaron was that crack for me. He pushed inside, wrapping himself around my soul and never letting go. I wanted to let him in, but was he ready for the past I worked so hard to escape from?

Trusting you is the second book in The Sutter Family series.

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

This is one story I have been waiting on since reading Catching Raindrops. Why you ask? This is Melinda and Aarons book.  The prologue had me hooked it gave me just enough that I wanted…no…no…needed to know more of Melinda’s back story.

Melinda is on the right path keeping out of trouble making it through college and making her life better. One thing she did expect was Aaron. She was warned about Aaron, she even knew what Aaron was when she visited the Sutters that summer. She didn’t have time for a guy like Aaron. Mel has her walls up and is leery of letting these down and doesn’t want to get hurt.   Mel has secrets that hold her back and man does she have secrets. She has a hard time opening up and letting anyone in especially a player like Aaron. See Mel’s inner struggle with everything is heartbreaking.

Aaron is a player always had the girls running to him never had to look far for a girl willing to chase him.  I have to say I loved watching Aaron doing all the chasing instead of being chased. I’m telling you at one point in the book I had George Jones song The Race playing in my heat the entire time. Aaron can be so cocky around Mel at times then he would second guess himself and right back to being cocky.

We don’t see it often by every once in a while we see a playful side of Mel that she lets out when she wants to. My favorite thing is seeing Aaron doing the chasing instead of being chased.  He is trying so hard and falling so fast. Aaron finally found someone worth growing up for but can he break down Mel’s walls and get her to open up and let him in.  The epilogue was the best especially a certain scene that tugged at my heart. Then to see when Aaron realizes now all that his dad has done for him in his life. To see the love and strength between all the Sutters was wonderful to see.  I am so excited and cannot wait for Ryan and Jess story.

Synopsis:

Technically, you aren’t supposed to fall in love with your best friend’s girl.

When I was nineteen years old, I was faced with a choice that changed my life.

Keep the safety of what I already knew or risk losing everything with the young, hotheaded soldier who stole my heart.

I chose the wrong man, and for seventeen years, I paid in tears, blood, and shattered dreams for that decision.

Now, there’s a man in my house, holding a gun to my head on the order of my ex-husband—given from his prison cell.

That hotheaded soldier I was too afraid to choose? He’s now a six-foot-three wall of muscle who works at the country’s most premier bodyguard agency. I’ve always wanted him, but now, I’ve never needed him more.

It’s the call I’m terrified to make.

I’m sure he still hates me… Even though I’ve never stopped loving him.

I receive this book from the author for an honest review.

Say it’s not so!! Like everything else all good things must come to an end and boy does JM Walker know how to end things.  I tell you I have been waiting for Stone the quiet ones always gain my attention.  This book had me from chapter one JM holds no punches in this book.

After celebrating a little too much one night Creena finds herself waking up to in a situation she tried hard to avoid.  That’s right after keeping Stone safely in the friend zone one night changed it all and there was no turning back from it. Creena hold secrets and oh man the secrets she holds is well let’s just say that is one you will have to find out for yourself.  She does what she can to keep her sisters and Stone safe but when her past comes knocking she is forced to open the door.

Vincent Stone what can I say about him he is one Hot alpha and secrets man does he have them. I was floored never even seen is secret coming wasn’t even in the same ball park when that one came flying by. Stone was a loner his life was the military and now all he needs is the support and acceptance of his Vice One Unit.  Well that is until he is given something fun to pursue. He had no clue what it would be like to be with Creena she could never be a one and done type he was addicted and needed more.

I absolutely loved how strong and sassy Creena was. She is exactly what Stone needed to keep him on his toes. These two lead different lives but so much was the same both so broken, so many past scars, and the darkness that resides in them only to realize the other is their light. There was so much in this book from the things that I was blindsided with, to the ups and downs; there was so much switching going on who knew but WOW. I have to put a side note in here I was so excited to see Lucas Crane helping out in this book I so love this man. I have to say it was great to see all the Kings Harlots and Vice One in this book and the ending exceptionally done.  I can only hope that maybe just maybe we will see more of the Kings Harlots and Vice One with all the families growing so fast.

A few of my favorites:

It had been a long time since I’d gotten that drunk. After celebrating a friend’s wedding the night before, it was almost a given that it would happen. But I still couldn’t imagine who I had gone home with. There was no one that I was even remotely close to being interested in. No one other than a guy I had become friends with and kept in the friend zone because it was safe.

I didn’t deserve her. Not one damn thing about her. She was good. Innocent. Although she had a dirty mouth on her, she was light where I was dark. I needed to get far from her before I tainted her soul with the rust of my past.

Lucas Crane smiled down at me, his eye patch lifting when the smile reached his eyes. “It’s nice to meet you. I’m Lucas.” He winked. “As you already know.”

Our souls calling out to each other to ease this anxiety we had been feeling for the past several months. It was the clam before the storm, as cliché as that sounded, so we used each other while we could.

Review by Jordan

I enjoyed this story. It was short and sexy. Great introduction to the characters and the story line. I look forward to see where this may go.

*purchased book*

Alexis Alvarez writes romances – some are light-hearted contemporary romances; others delve into the exotic world of domination and submission.

Her female heroines are strong-willed women who are never push-overs, and who can hold their own in society and the workplace, but who are intrigued with the idea of kink and submission in the bedroom. Alexis writes with skill and poetry, creating worlds that are both dark and erotic and, at times, humorous and light.

Alexis is a writer, photographer, gourmet cook, former engineer, and mom. She likes other things besides BDSM fiction, and some of them include snorkeling, lemon bars, thunderstorms, and laughing so hard with her sisters and brother that her stomach hurts.

You can find Alexis at the website she shares with her two real-life sisters, who are also romance writers: www.graffitifiction.com

This is the third book in the Black Mountain Pack series and it is all about the Silver Fox Sterling. He loves the pack is now in there is something pulling him to run.  Sterling knows it’s not for his mate because he had one and it is rare to be gifted with a second chance.  He is asked to go see what is going on in a pack in Texas. Sterling quickly realizes he is not just there to help with the issue at hand but to protect Reana his mate.

Reana is stuck where she knows things are right but can do nothing to stop it until Sterling and his crew shows up.  She is all for helping out but not willing to submit to being Sterling’s mate even if her fox disagrees. There is no way Reana can give into the matting with Sterling she is not willing to lose everything by breaking her packs rules.  Reana lost her Alpha and her best friend she is not willing to lose any more.

The connection that Reana and Sterling have was captivating. Watching her struggle to keep her fox at bay and the banter those two had was entertaining. However, Sterling seemed to have the same issue with his fox.  I enjoyed seeing a diverse group of shifters come together to accomplish a goal. I was surprised with what some of them were and what they could do. There are so many great shifters in this series and I want to learn all of their stories. I would love to hear what Steven’s story is he is not the big alpha of the group but his submissiveness is an asset in this story. Plus those quiet ones always have a way to my heart.

Shannon is a born and raised Texan. She grew up inventing clever stories, usually to get herself out of trouble. Her mother was not amused. In junior high, she began writing fractured fairy tales from the villain’s point of view and that was the moment she knew that she was going to use her powers for evil instead of good.

In 2003, she moved to Denver and met the love of her life. After some relentless stalking and a few well-timed sarcastic remarks, the man eventually gave in to her charms and wifed her so hard. They welcomed a son in 2007 that they named after their favorite Marvel superhero, Spiderman.

Sick of seeing beautiful mountains through their window every day, the three escaped back to the desolate landscape of the west Texas desert in 2009. She welcomed her second son not long after and soon realized that being surrounded by three men was nothing at all like she’d imagined in her fantasies.

After an unplanned surgery in 2014 and a long pity party, she decided to pen a novel about the worst thing that could happen to a person in order to cheer herself up. She’s twisted like that. Thus, From This Day Forward was born and the rest, as they say, is history.

Not only does Shannon enjoy stalking people, she also has a fondness for being stalked. Visit her at www.shannonshaemyers.com to keep up with her latest schemes and shenanigans.
